Up next...I‘m using this for my 1930s pick in The Decades Reading Challenge and it‘s the middle square on my #bookspinbingo card. Historical fiction set in French-colonial Vietnam surrounding the Michelin rubber farms (and fortune).

This historical fiction illuminated a history of French colonialism that I didn‘t know much about. Learning more about the geopolitical history of South East Asia now via videos like https://youtu.be/v86IiLm1okw

“Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.” - Benjamin Franklin

So, the whirl world affairs of the rich and poor are entwined in ways for which the reader could never be prepared. The novel speaks to the political environment as relevant to the extents people will go for redemption and change.

I will say that this book is a lot more twisty than I initially thought. A period novel set in 1930‘s era Hanoi. A diverse group of characters led by Jessie Lesage and Marcele De Fabray, 2 women vying for title of most savage and fierce.

It seems like a good day to remind myself and everyone else that we have somewhere to go even when we cannot leave our homes. We can travel through a book. Stories have the power to take us on adventures, show us new worlds, build our empathy, teach us things, probe our emotions, and comfort us like an old, familiar friend.

The books pictured are all coming out in April. There are plenty of other April releases that we can look forward to, too!

Crazeedi So true! 5y

Yoyo and I had a reading marathon today. Once I got into this historical fiction about Vietnam in the 1930‘s, I couldn‘t put it down. Karin Tanabe does a good job of depicting the sense of place and time and I learned so much about French colonization in indochine. The conflict between the two main characters, Jessie and Marcelle, turned into intrigue and suspense that kept me turning the pages. Thank you for the ARC @StMartinsPress

LeeRHarry Glad to hear you liked this one - stacked! 😊 5y

LeahBergen Yoyo! ❤️❤️ I have my new Johnny sprawled on my legs right now. He‘s really thrown a wrench into my Litsying lately. 😆 5y
emilyhaldi So sweet 🥰🥰 5y
Mdargusch @Crazeedi I feel like all the historical novels I read are about the US and Europe and so many take place during WWII so this was an interesting look at something new to me. 5y
Mdargusch I have to admit I almost bailed around page 100 but I‘m happy I didn‘t @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @LeeRHarry 5y
Mdargusch Since we got Rose and Jack - the chihuahua puppies- my reading has definitely declined @LeahBergen I‘m constantly on alert to what they are doing. Yoyo on the other hand, is a senior we just adopted. He‘s just a couch cuddler. I love your new little Johnny! 💙 5y
Mdargusch I was ready to send him back yesterday @emilyhaldi 🤣 5y
Crazeedi @Mdargusch exactly, that why I enjoy history about places not as known! 5y

#weeklyforecast but possibly my #monthlyforecast as I‘m having a hard time getting into Auntie Poldi. November Road is for the month long #botmbuddyread and I‘m knitting more right now and binge watching Married to Medicine. 🤩

Cinfhen I find I get easily distracted as the days get shorter/ darker and I don‘t read as much 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5y
Mdargusch Odd how that works @Cinfhen - it should be the opposite. 5y
Cinfhen Yeah, it‘s weird. 5y
